Court Papers Indicate Ala. Gambling Probe Growing

Montgomery, AL – Federal prosecutors say in court papers that their gambling investigation in Alabama has grown beyond the legislators, lobbyists and casino owners who have already been indicted.

The disclosure comes in court papers involving notes from interviews the FBI did with Country Crossing casino lobbyist Jarrod Massey, who has pleaded guilty to bribery and conspiracy.

Federal prosecutors say they have provided other defendants with copies of the FBI's interview notes, with some material blacked out. They said the undisclosed material pertains to an ongoing criminal investigation involving facts beyond the scope of the indictment issued against 11 people in October.

Prosecutors say in the court papers that disclosure of the material at this time would risk exposing details of the investigation.
